    EP#358: Strength for Hard Seasons - Real Peace, Secure Faith

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about what real strength looks like in hard times. When life feels heavy and you're running on empty, the last thing you need is another push to try harder. In this short episode, Jen opens up 2 Corinthians 12:9 and reminds us that real strength in hard seasons doesn't come from working up more willpower — it comes from God's grace, which is already sufficient for whatever you're carrying today. This is your Christian encouragement for the week: you don't have to be unshakeable to trust that he is.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse 2 Corinthians 12:9 "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me." Question God, I'm aware of my weakness, but I wanna be more aware of your grace.

    EP#357: Hard Pressed, Not Crushed - Real Peace, Secure Faith

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about why God doesn’t always remove the pressure. When life feels like it's pressing down on you from every direction, it's easy to wonder if God has forgotten you. In this episode, Jen opens up 2 Corinthians 4 to remind us that being hard pressed isn't a sign of abandonment — it's an invitation to notice what God is already doing in the middle of it. A grounding episode for anyone craving Christian encouragement on the hard days.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse 2 Corinthians 4:6-9 "For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed."

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about how to have hope when you feel spiritually tired. Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is stop pretending you're okay and just ask God to fill what you can't fix. Jen walks through Romans 15:13 and shares a deeply personal story about hope, grief, and what it means to trust God when the outcome isn't what you prayed for. Real Christian encouragement for the mom who's tired but still showing up.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." Question God of Hope, where am I trying to force or fake something when you want to fill me with something instead? Help me receive that from you.

    EP#355: When Faith and Fear Coexist - Real Peace, Secure Faith

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about how to trust God when you’re still afraid. Fear doesn’t disappear just because we believe Jesus is alive—and that tension can leave many Christian moms feeling discouraged or even ashamed. In this faith-based reflection, we look at the moment in John 20 when the disciples were still hiding in fear after the resurrection and how Jesus met them with peace instead of shame. If you’ve ever wondered how to hear from God or experience His presence when you’re overwhelmed, this episode offers gentle Christian encouragement for trusting Him even while you’re still afraid. Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse John 20:18–21 ESV 18 "Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, 'I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her. 19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” Question God, where are you present in what makes me fearful? Will you give me a picture I can hold onto?

If you've been spinning out on worst-case scenarios, this one will meet you right there.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

    EP#353: Step Into His Compassion - How to Bring Your Feelings to God

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about the reliable compassion of God.  When life feels heavy and you've been leaning on your own strength for too long, it can be hard to believe God still has grace for you. In this episode, Jen opens up Isaiah 30 to show that God's compassion isn't fickle — it doesn't ebb and flow based on how well you're doing. If you're wondering how to hear from God in the middle of a hard season, this one's a good place to start.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Isaiah 30:15, 16 & 18 "Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you. Therefore, he will rise up to show you compassion." (v 18) Question God, what do you want me to know about your compassion for me?

    EP#352: From "How Long "to "I Trust" - How to Bring Your Feelings to God

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about bringing your pain to God. Lament is one of the most honest forms of prayer, and scripture is full of it — including in the words of David in Psalm 13. Jen guides you through what it looks like to bring your deepest pain and disappointment to God, even when you don't have the words, and invites you into a faith-based reflection that could open something tender and true in your own heart.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Psalms 13    "How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?  How long will you hide your face from me?  How long must I take counsel in my soul  and have sorrow in my heart all the day?  How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?  Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;  light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,  lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”  lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.   But I have trusted in your steadfast love;  my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.  I will sing to the Lord,  because he has dealt bountifully with me." Question God, what pain or disappointment needs words today? Help me give words to it.
